Tauer Perfumes 05 Incense Extreme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007, created by Andy Tauer. 05 Incense Extreme opens with Petitgrain and Coriander, settles into a heart of Orris and Incense, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, and Cedar. Tauer Perfumes's 05 Incense Extreme carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper divisive scent; folks either love its unique, dry incense profile or find it a bit too odd, like a 'wet stone in the sun' or even bug spray. It certainly challenges expectations of what an incense fragrance should be.

Its unique, dry, and clean incense profile, coupled with a moderate sillage and often described as 'light' or 'subtle', makes it suitable for casual wear or even a daring date. However, its unusual character and sharp opening might be too polarising for conservative office settings or highly formal events. Most reviews highlight its refreshing nature and suitability for warmer weather, suggesting versatility for various everyday contexts.

About

05 Incense Extreme opens with a sharp, green zing of petitgrain and coriander, quickly unfolding into a cool, almost mineral incense. Orris root adds a powdery, earthy depth, ensuring the frankincense isn't overtly 'churchy' but instead a clean, linear, almost frosty presence. The dry-down reveals ancient, sun-baked cedar and a subtle, grounding amber, resulting in a surprisingly fresh and modern take on incense.
